transmission issue

Hi All, been doing alot of research online and talking to a few people, but I needed your opinion before I take my vehicle to the transmission shop to get diagnosed, see if it matches....I just bought a 95 explorer xlt 4x4 4.0L 216km's. It has a delay going from first gear to 2nd gear, unless I...

Hi, I have a 2007 explorer, 5r55s transmission that has corrosion issues on the wiring connector that bolts on to the solenoid pack. Has anyone had similar issues? I can not find the connector anywhere. Could anyone help me out?

Hi All- Im a new member to the forum and wanted to first say HI! I have a 1994 Explorer with 175,000 miles on it. About a week ago I was reversing my truck off of a steep incline. After, i was out I parked it and returned about an hour later. As I started to drive I noticed that 1st gear...

We have an 11 XLT and today we had an issue with what I believe was the transmission. My wife was driving up some what of a steep hill and all of a sudden there was a loud clunk noise. After that, my wife was unable to rev the motor or move. She had to put the shifter into manual and select 1...

I am looking for advice on what I could try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. It has 130k on it and has never had transmission issues or slips. Suddenly the flashing overdrive light came on and it won't start out in drive. It will start and run in 2nd and reverse like normal. If...

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer 4.0 with rough idle, no check engine light. We've tracked it down to fuel injector but can the rough idle cause erratic shifting with the transmission? Thanks in advance. ps. no codes for transmission and no check engine light.

Hi guys , this is my first post here. i have the same problem of 2nd to 3rd gear delay , (Service Engine Soon ) light is on , the O/D and light flashing , and i have to get my foot off the accelerator to make it shift smoothly. but it also has yet another "symptom" , i hear a hissing sound...

Hey guys. I posted awhile back about an issue we're having with our mountaineer. This is a follow up with more information. It started when the check transmission light came on, and the OD light started flashing one day. I went online and it seems like it's a fairly common issue. We took it...

Went to back into a parking spot and noticed reverse was hesitant. Pulled forward and then reverse again and truck went into "safe mode" so I turned it off and back on and it was safe mode was gone. Put it in reverse and the wrenvh came up as well as safe mode and now svc tranny light is on...

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place. I'm still learning my way around. I have an '02 Explorer with a V8. Last week I was driving and when slowing down to turn a corner or stop for a stop sign/light, the RPMs dropped and the engine died. I put it in neutral and it started...

We were returning home from vacation yesterday when I experienced a strange transmission issue. We were going up a hill, the explorer downshifted to accellerate, and when it shifted back up it clunked really hard, and the "O/D OFF" light started blinking slowly on the instrument panel. I had...

Ok well here is the deal, 03 eploder, dealership says its a 4r55e but looking and reading im thinking 5r55e, dont know if that matters but here is my issue, its stuck in like 4th gear, will not shift, rpm 2500 max. changed filter and fluid 3 times just thinking its dirty and stuck. NO JOY, NO...

I'm going to pick up a 99 5speed today and the guy selling it says that it only moves in 4th.. the other 4 gears do not work and neither does reverse. Had a new clutch in it 4 months ago, they did it themselves, since then, it hasn't moved. Any suggestions, apparently, it worked perfectly...

My finance's truck broke down the other day. No reverse or drive at all. To fix the problem, I was going to replace the entire valve body but since she needed her vehicle the next day for work I replaced the vb gaskets instead. The valve body would have taken a few days to acquire. Turns out...

I have a '97 Ford Ex with a 4.0 SOHC and a 5R555 (data plate TR code is V) The problem I am seeing appears only when it is cold out and only occasionally. I can start it up and back out of the drive just fine. Then after getting up to 50 mph for a couple minutes it will shutter and stall at a...

I bought a 2000 5.0 V8 Explorer 2 wheel drive and my husband replaced the transmission with one off of a Mercury Mountaineer. It will drive, but doesn't have any power. His cousin said he had the same issue when he switched out trannys on a form on an Explorer to a Mountaineer. He said that...

Recently was backing into the garage...heard the thunk and then boom no reverse. I've read through quite a few threads and it seems it is most likely the reverse band. Im posting this here, in hopes someone can point me to a good place here in Oregon to get it fixed, without getting ripped off...

Figured id give it a try on here to see if someone would have a fix before I replace the trans I have an 03 Explorer 4.0 4WD, having transmission issues. I put it into drive and it sits there for a second then kind of clunks in, I have to let off the gas for it to shift to second. When...

I need an insight for a transmission issue, so any tips would be helpful. Last week while i was going to work, i pulled out of the driveway and drove less then 40 ft when i heard a odd noise and i lost all power to drive forward in any gear, i can to a park, restarted and shifted into drive...

I have a 1999 Explorer XL 4x4 with a V6 with 130000 miles. I noticed this problem 2 days ago and I am curious if it is a trans problem or a Valve Body problem or if it is something else that others have experienced. When I am driving over 50 miles an hour, my Explorer seems to jump/jerk. It...

I just had the solenoid pack in the transmission replaced 5,000 miles ago and i believe it just went out again!!! :mad: It started shifting funny 3rd to 4th gear, like it was stuck in neutral when it was trying to change from 3rd to 4th. It wont change unless i let off the gas. Shortly after...

Picked up said truck yesterday... got it for a great deal so what if it's a Ford and it doesn't go forwards? Anyways ... V6 4x4 Explorer, 214,x.. km on it. Automatic transmission was rebuilt just 5k km ago in April 2010. It will only go into reverse - most of the time. We managed to get...

Hi all, I have a Trans. issue: Car goes in drive and goes in 1st gear but won't shift into other gears. Shut Car off and tried again and this issue went away. Does anyone know what this is? 178000 miles on the trans so I was thinking this is a low fluid issue.

2000 explorer approx 150k miles (no idea on trans history) I search and read the last 5 hours and have not yet found the exact problem--- --I've had this explorer 3 years with absolutely no drivetrain problems, always towed with overdrive off, don't race, etc. I have probably put apprx...

Hello all, I bought a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport with 165K mi on it a few weeks back and I have been trying to replace things like bushings and such that are worn or completely gone. I'm loving the vehicle and I like the fact that since it was a cash car on the Dave Ramsey plan, it's paid...

So i have a 97 mountaineer and the tranny just started actin up. It shifts through the gears and dosent feel like its slipping its just shifting late but sometimes it shifts just fine... could it be a solenoid or is my tranny shot? And how much do they run used? Thx charles

Issue: The transmission doesn't seem to want to catch that 3rd gear unless I let off the pedal. (I'm not an aggressive driver) This is worse when going up a slight incline. The RPM's rev up to as high as 3500+ in that one gear How we arrived at this issue: Just learning to change my own...

Well, from what I have read so far, I feel I have dug a deep hole and jumped right in by buying this 1995 Explorer XLT 2WD.It only has 130K miles and is in excellent condition......except....on the drive home after buying it I notice that it wont shift out of 1st gear unless I let off the...

Hi everyone, I hope I'm doing everything correctly, so if I'm not, please let me know. Anyway, here is my situation: I am fixing a 1999 Ford RAnger 3.0 Automatic for my dad. I'm fairly mechanically capable, as I just put a rebuilt set of heads on it successfully. All is well except for a slight...

Hi all I've got some funny things going on (04 mountaineer AWD V8): • the accelerator pedal seems stiff, hard to depress • sometimes really have to push when in the last two gears, and doesn't do anything, no go, rpms stay the same-don't jump up • immediately after shifting up, there's a...

Automatic 4wd 91 Eddie Bower When shifting into OD on the indicator, the vehicle will barely move, as if the transmission were slipping. Put it into D it takes off right away. If you shift into OD at highway speeds, it shifts into overdrive just fine. Fluid is not burnt and is mostly clear...

I have used this site for awhile, and finally needed to make an account to ask for help (usually you already have the answer!) I have this transmission problem on my Explorer. It has been great until I had an O/D light come on while driving (It came on sporadically, and even stayed off for a...

Hello All, I have a situation with my 97 Explorer Sport, Automatic. For some reason the transmission will not engage into drive or reverse right away. After I shift into either, it hesitates for a little bit, and then shifts. Once it is in drive, there are no other issues as far as slipping...
